"Upgrade Electric was fantastic to work with. The owner was very responsive to all the requests i made, and provided a very pleasant demeanor, and easy to work with. On the day of installation, the work team had everything with them needed for the upgrade (100amp service upgraded to 200amp), and was very thorough in making sure all circuits were hooked up properly and work working throughout the house. I cannot say enough about the excellent workmanship, timely installation, and post completion support. I would use this company again for any and all electrical demands i may have in the future, without any hesitation. The pricing was very competitive, and the person installing the electrical is a Master licensed professional electrician. This was an excellent experience, and i would not hesitate to use this company again."

"I called two Electricians from Angie's List on Saturday, March 2, 2013, and did not feel comfortable with their responses after I explained that my circuit breaker tripped and I lost power on one side of my master bedroom and bathroom. I called DR Electric on Monday morning, March 4, 2013, and explained my problem.  Tony informed me that Rick who is the Master Electrician could be at my home the same morning between 10:00 am and 12 noon.  When Rick arrived at 10:00 am, he was very thorough with explaining and repairing the problem, which he did not charge for the service.  In addition, my fire alarm system went off twice within 1 month, which I had to called the fire department to check and see if there was a carbon monoxide problem.  When the fire department is called for carbon monoxide, the utilities company must also come to the house to check for carbon monoxide. The Utilities company informed me that the duel fire and carbon monoxide alarms are very sensitive and they had responded to numerous carbon monoxide false alarms in the area.  The Utilities company recommended that I separate the fire alarms and have a carbon monoxide alarm on each floor. The utilities company also recommended which fire and carbon monoxide alarms to purchase.   In addition, the area which I live there has been several homes which has been struck by lighting so I was interested in the whole house power surge. Rick explained how the whole house surge protector works along with the different systems and warranties.  On Wednesday, March 6, 2013, Rick installed the whole house surge protector; Tony replaced my fire alarm system and placed the carbon monoxide on each floor .  They both explained the work they completed and was very professional.  I would definitely hire this company again for other electric work. I do plan on having some other electrical work done in the future.  I will definitely recommend this company to my friends and neighbors.

"Todd Chaney is an exceptional electrician. He has completed work for me on a mechanic shop, a vacation rental, and a mixed‑use retail building, and the quality has been consistently excellent. Todd understands the full construction process, which makes him highly effective at diagnosing issues and installing or repairing electrical systems in any situation — residential, commercial, or older structures. I’m hiring Todd, with Pink Brick Electric again this spring to handle major electrical work on my 1880 Queen Anne Victorian. Projects like this require experience, precision, and good judgment, and I trust Todd completely. He communicates clearly, gives honest and thoughtful feedback, asks the right questions, and respects the homeowner’s perspective. Working with him is straightforward and professional. The Pink Brick is a company built on integrity, and I recommend them without hesitation"

"Clay gave the estimate and Clay and CJ did the install. I was happy with them, very professional and courteous. They were fast and efficient. Clean up could have been a tiny bit better, found tape, boxes, plastic around after a thorough walk through. When looking at the caulking around the sinks, it was a bit sloppy, will need to cut some away and clean some off edges of the sink. Overall they were good."

"Really responsive and prompt, especially in the installation phase. We did have a couple of small hiccups, which in my mind a homeowner should expected on literally any remodeling project, and they were resolved quickly. Communication on final details like inspections could have been smoother, but overall the whole process was very clear, well managed, and well executed. Happy with the choice to go with Red Rocks."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.
